I'm deciding whether or not to finish microbiology first or anatomy and physiology. does it matter which I take first, or they are all on the same level of difficulty?

I am going back to school after over 10 years, and am having to re-take A&P 1 & 2 and Micro. This semester I can get a better instructor for Micro than for A&P 1, so I was planning to to just go ahead and jump back in with Micro, since I've had the material before, even though it's been a looooong time.

I did not think A&P really helped me in Micro. My campus, the only requirement for Micro is that you have taken General Bio.Matt

I took it after A&P 1 last time, but I don't remember there being anything really in there that I needed A&P for. (but it *was* 10+ years ago, so my memory's a little fuzzy!!)

I would go online and look up some micro websites and some A&P websites and see what you feel would be best.Good luck with whatever you choose.Matt
Yue23 1 Post Dec 10, 2008 hi...its better for you to take anatomy and physiology before microbiology...for you to have a better understanding of what organs of a certain disease attacks...and so on so forth..but micropara is more enjoyable than anaphy=)goodluck
